The Wuxi gentry are still very face-saving, after all, they and Yang Dudu have been in a relationship for many years......

The main thing is that they have all been in prison.

Although it is true that the Jinyi Wei Edict Prison in the capital has not been entered, but the temporary prison set up by Yang Xin in Wuxi has lived in it, the Hua family, the Zou family, the Qian family and other families in Wuxi, which generation has not been tortured by him?

Who would dare to resist?

Eight coins and one stone is eight dollars and one stone, and this price is originally a normal price.

It just happened that they found that the people in various places were a little emotionally unstable during this time, and it was easy for a civil uprising to break out again if they were not careful, and it would be over if Yang Xin took advantage of it at that time. Eight coins is a price that will not arouse public anger, and coupled with the canned food brought by Yang Xin, rice from other places continues to arrive, and it gradually stabilizes the people's hearts.

At the end of the day, they're scared too.

"Eight pieces of silver."

Yang Xin stood in front of Zeng Ying, who looked at him cautiously.

The prefect is still the prefect.

After all, there are three more Changzhou Prefectures, to be precise, two and a half counties, Wuxi, Yixing, and Jiangyin, but Jiangyin County has moved to Zhutang, and Changzhou has also moved to Wuxi.

Zeng Zhifu is actually a respectable civil official.

Originally, he had been following Longwu in history, and committed suicide after the Qing army broke through Xiamen.

"Here are 100,000 taels of tickets, you buy half of the grain they sell, and then send it to various places to help those victims, and it will take a few months until the autumn harvest, and no one can starve to death during this period. In addition, these grains are strictly controlled and not allowed to leave the country, it really doesn't work, I will match you with militia, and we must not let us lower the price of grain, and in the end it will cheapen those profiteers. ”

Yang Xin took out the ticket and said.

This kind of thing must be guarded against, the price of grain in Wuxi was pressed to eight yuan by him, and there are one or two or six around it, and it is strange that those profiteers don't take the opportunity to make a profit!

"Governor, the lower officials really don't understand the governor as a person."

Zeng Ying took the ticket and sighed.

"My life is very simple, being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, I don't care what means are used, even if you think it is ruthless and shameless or even mad. If I need to be framed, I will be framed, if I need to blackmail, I will blackmail, and if I need to kill people and set fires, I will not mind killing people and setting fires, but we can't let the people starve to death.

My principle is only this one, as long as I can ensure that the people do not starve to death, the others are not worth mentioning, Yang does make a lot of money, but I don't mind taking it all out when the people need silver for disaster relief. ”

Yang Xin said.

Zeng Ying was silent.

"Governor ......"

Li Zhong came in and stopped talking.

"What?"

Yang Xin looked at an unfamiliar officer beside him.

"Governor, the Danyang County Supervisor wanted to sell the grain to those grain merchants, and then sell it to Suzhou to make money, but was intercepted by our militia, this father-in-law was so angry that he wanted to kill the militia brigade commander who intercepted him, and said that he was the county supervisor, and he had the final say in Danyang."

The latter saluted.

"Is he Gonggong Liu's person?"

Yang Xin asked Li Zhong.

"Back to the capital, he is the person who is the lady of Fengsheng, and Gonggong Liu doesn't dare to care about him, since he arrived in Danyang, he is indeed a little arrogant."

Li Zhong said.

"Let him evaporate!"

Yang Xin said very simply.

This shows that the Hakka clan came in to make trouble, Liu Shimin is a person who understands proportion, it is impossible to say that these people do not make money, but they still have to understand the rules on the territory of the Red Turban Army after all, and at this time, the export of local grain will arouse public anger. This kind of person must be cleaned up quickly, and it just happens to make other internal officials who follow Liu Shimin sober up, these people are nine thousand years old, this one will be sent back at most, and there are Hakkas, and if they dare to do something, they will be killed directly.

The officer immediately saluted and went out, but Zeng Ying remained silent.

"Governor Zeng, do you know what human evaporation is?"

Yang Xin said.

Zeng Ying shook her head indifferently.

Yang Xin pulled out the dagger, picked up a little raindrop outside and put it on the candle, and soon the raindrop gradually turned into water vapor and disappeared.

"This is called the evaporation of the world!"

Yang Xin said.

Zeng Ying smiled slightly.

He knew that Yang Xin was threatening him, and if he dared to be greedy for disaster relief funds, he would also evaporate from the world.

I'll leave it to Zeng Ying.

In fact, places like Wuxi have the most perfect disaster relief system that can be done in this era, and this flood of one level occurred once in the 36th year of Wanli. That time it was called two hundred years ago, but this time it was called the time when Wanli directly issued 50,000 yuan from the household department, and then ordered Nanjing to intercept 50,000 yuan of tax silver, and then ordered to adjust the salt tax of 150,000 yuan, and then moved Shandong to pay 50,000 yuan of tax silver, and issued 300,000 taels of disaster relief in the first half of the year.

Taxes are exempt.

The folk gentry donated grain, and Mao Yuanyi donated 10,000 stone by himself that time.

The official warehouse distributes grain stockpiles.

Cao Jiang Du Yu Shi Ding Bin sent tens of thousands of stone relief.

Chen Beichou, a merchant from Huguang, originally came to sell 800 stone rice, but in the end, seeing the pity of the victims, he sent it while walking, and returned with an empty boat.

And then it is to plant food that can provide food quickly, for example, Xu Guangqi planted sweet potatoes in his hometown at that time, he also introduced turnips, the most difficult part of this kind of flood is not at this time, at this time, you can still find food if you work hard, such as fish, aquatic plants, wild vegetables, etc., can satisfy hunger.

The most difficult thing is that after the grain production is reduced or even extinct, and nothing can be found in the winter, then the family is really waiting for death.

So you have to plant sweet potatoes and the like.

Yang Xin has asked people to transport a batch of sweet potatoes from Fujian and Guangdong to this side, and then plant sweet potatoes in those places where the water recedes too late to grow rice, mainly because this thing can eat sweet potato seedlings, so that some food can be replenished during this period before harvest. The most difficult blockade period of Germany in World War I was carried by this thing, and the winter between 1916 and 17 was called the winter of turnips by the Germans.

I have to say that Xu Guangqi is wise, and he found the most suitable two crops at once.

It's a pity that the promotion is not in the right place.

It is difficult for sweet potatoes and turnips to make a deep impression in the hearts of the victims in places like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after all, when there is no disaster here, there is no need to eat this, and even barley is not popular in this area in a normal year.

If Xu Guangqi can really go all out to promote these two crops in the north, maybe the famine can be alleviated.

Of course, he definitely doesn't have this ability, Yang Xin's current reclamation of Tianjin or the promotion of new crops are all things he wants to do but can't do.

Yang Xin continued to move forward.

But at this time he only had a thousand cans left.

Fortunately, the disaster in Suzhou was slightly lighter.

As for here......

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Yang Xin said with a wine glass.

In front of him are all the top families in Suzhou.

The Qian family, and there is more than one Qian family, the descendants of Qian Biao have multiplied too much in this area, forming several branches, and they are not ordinary people, and the annual rent of 900,000 stone is the Qimen Qian family. The other Lu, Gu, Zhu, Zhang, Gui, Fan, Wen, Wang, Xu, and Shen are all at the same level as the Qian family, and even more than the Qian family, at this moment, a group of wealthy families with at least five hundred years of inheritance are all looking at him quietly.

They were forced to come.

Yang Dudu said that if they didn't come to eat this meal with him, then he would send a few thousand victims to their house to eat with them.

Since that's the only way to come.

The table in front of them was full of plates, all of which were good.

Lotus root.

boiled in plain water.

Water caltrop.

boiled in plain water.

Reed root.

This one is also boiled in plain water.

Then there are wild vegetables, grass roots, water chestnuts and the like, in short, all of them are eaten by the current disaster victims, but there are still a few plates of canned food that are considered normal food, but Wen Zhenmeng's cousin Wen Congjian is guarding a plate of canned food disgusting, just like a happy little daughter-in-law.

After all, people like them are used to eating those delicate and light foods.

I can't stand this thing!

"Eat them all!"

Yang Dudu said with a smile.

"It's pretty ......"

Xu Wang, the great painter of the Xu family, smiled and took a piece of whale meat, carefully put it to his mouth, and then all kinds of chaotic and rich smells instantly penetrated into their nostrils, torturing their sense of smell that they could only eat lips when eating mutton.

"Vomit ......"

The great painter was instantly defeated.

He is the core of the Restoration Society that has been established, in addition to him, there are Yang Tingshu, Zhang Cai and others, these people are also the main backing of those group training, that is, they are responsible for raising military salaries for Xu Xiake and others in various places.

He committed suicide at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the most famous figures of the Fushe in the original history, especially the four sons or something, they are all juniors at this time, in fact, they are children, even if Chen Zilong is not an adult at this time, the eldest Chen Zhenhui is an adult, and Hou Fangyu is only a few years old, of course, the water conservancy master estimates that he has no chance to be suave, after all, the Hou family is all over this time, and his father and uncle have already gone to Diaoyu Island.

His grandfather was kept by Donglin Qunxian, but he was also dismissed at home.

"Yang Dudu, please speak up!"

Gu Xichou and his father Gu Tianxu said while eating boiled water chestnuts.

This old man lived until the end of the Ming Dynasty, in order to let Gu Xichou resist the Qing Dynasty without worries, he died of hunger strike in more than eighty years, he was from Kunshan, this time Yang Xin invited Wu County, Changzhou, Kunshan These three places, of which Wu County and Changzhou are co-governed Suzhou City, these three places are the core areas of Suzhou families.

"Sunzhou Gong, there is still a main dish that has not been served, let's talk about something else when this main dish comes up."

Yang Xin said.

A group of top families looked at him suspiciously.

At this time, Li Zhong hurriedly walked in, still holding a tray in his hand, I don't know what was in the tray, and the lid was covered on it, and then Yang Dudu personally got up and put it in the middle of the table.

"Guys, this main course is very fresh."

He said with the lid in a pretentious manner.

A group of top families didn't give face to any of them, and they all sat there and looked at him indifferently. Yang Dudu smiled and looked around, there was silence all around, and then he suddenly opened the lid, and a dead human head inside was facing the oldest ...... inside
